LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH GOMEZ, a

--citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the countyof Morgan and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Liquid-Fuel Burners, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to liquid fuel burners employing a retort tovaporize the oil and has for one of its objects the provision of aretort consisting of a hollow casing heated by the flames from theburner and having the oil supplying pipe provided with small out-letsthrough which the oil is sprayed against the walls of the casing and isimmediately vaporized.

Another object of my invention is the provision of an improvedconstruction of urner.

My invention will be described in detail hereinafter and illustrated inthe accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a side view of myimproved burner showing the retort and burner in section, and Fig. 2, atop plan view.

In the drawings similar reference characters will be used to designatecorresponding parts in the several views.

My invention consists of a retort 1 comprising an inverted cone shapedcasing 1 having a threaded opening 2 in its lower end in which issecured the end of supply pipe A, and 3 indicates a pipe screwed intothe end of pipe A and having its upper end engaged by the inner face ofthe top of retort 1.

4: designates holes adjacent to the top of pipe at through which the oilis sprayed under pressure against the walls of the retort.

Pipe A is provided with a cut off-valve B and connects with supply tankC.

The burner pipe 5 is tapped int-o the side of the retort at its bottomand has its free end secured to the burner that consists of block 6having a threaded socket 7 to receive the end of pipe 5, and outletducts 8 that communicate with socket 7 and incline Specification ofLetters Patent.

upwardly and downwardly and have their delivery openings above and belowpipe 5.

9 indicates a pan mounted on pipe A and adapted to hold a small supplyof fuel 1 that is burned initially to heat the retort 1 to startvaporization.

In operation the burner is started by placing oil in pan 9, either byhand or by opening valve B, and letting it flow from retort 1 throughpipe 5 and out of burner orifices 8, which upon being ignited heats theretort and pipes A and 5. When the parts are sutficiently heated thevalve B is again opened and the oil sprayed from holes 4: against thesides of the retort is vaporized and passes through pipe 5 to theburner, and is burned when it emerges from the burner orifices S. Theflames striking the retort 1 and pipe 5 serve to heat them to maintainvaporization.

As the pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the retort 1v it will beapparent that any sediment, remaining after vaporization of the oil,passes out through the burner, but should it be found necessary to cleanthe retort it can be readily accomplished by unscrewing the casing fromthe end of pipe A and then removing pipe 8 from the end of pipe A.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is In a liquid fuelburner, a retort, a supply pipe having its delivery end in the retortand formed with small delivery orifices through which the oil is sprayedagainst the walls of the retort, a burner pipe connected to the retortnear its lower end and a block having a socket secured to the burnerpipe and provided with outlet ducts inclined upwardly and downwardlyfrom the socket and having their delivery orifices above and below theburner pipe and directed toward the retort aforesaid.

In testimony whereof I hereto affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

JOSEPH GOMEZ.
